Profile: Rays fans were clamoring to see Alex Torres take Roberto Hernandez's rotation spot in 2013, and while they did not get their wish, the fans did at least get to see Torres dominate in a fireman relief role. With an absurdly low ERA over 58 innings, Torres elevated himself into higher leverage roles throughout 2013 until he became a major component of the second best bullpen in the American League (3.36 FIP). Even if Torres stays in the bullpen in 2014, he should be a great acquisition for any fantasy team. His control problems in the minors have nearly vacated him, and his pitched have an extra bite in the bullpen. There's even a chance the Rays give him a shot at making the rotation now that Jeremy Hellickson will miss time. Torres -- who was a Triple-A starter as recently as 2013 -- could be back in the rotation if Jake Odorizzi fails to take control of the open rotation spot in the spring. (@BradleyWoodrum)

The Quick Opinion: Torres, at the very least, is an elite and little-known reliever. On those grounds alone, he could make for a crafty bounty late in a draft. But he also was a starter as recently as the beginning of 2013. Struggles in the Rays rotation could lead Torres back into the rotation, where there is a hope he could develop into a solid number three or four starter.

Profile: At this point in his career, Alex Torres might be better known for being the first pitcher to wear protective head gear on the mound than his production. Torres was lights out in 2013 as a member of the Rays but was largely unimpressive in San Diego last year with a 3.33/3.72/4.27 ERA/FIP/xFIP pitching line. Torres can still miss bats from the left side (12.5% swinging strike rate and 21.2% strikeout rate) but he’s more of a lefty specialist than classic setup man in San Diego. Joaquin Benoit is cemented as closer to start the season and Kevin Quackenbush, Dale Thayer, and newcomer Shawn Kelley are more likely to see higher leverage innings and save opportunities in lieu of Benoit. If Torres can harness some of his control that eluded him last year (5.5 walks per nine) he’ll be a productive member for the Padres bullpen but unlikely to be on many fantasy radars.

The Quick Opinion: Alex Torres hasn't put the super in Super Mario, and needs to prove himself agains versus right-handers to be more than a lefty in that bullpen, but still has some swing and miss stuff.

Profile: Alex Torres has struck out more than a batter per nine with a 2.68 ERA and 3.65 FIP in his career, but he has also walked five batters per nine. That lack of control got him demoted in August and has him looking for a job in 2016. He has no fantasy value. (Scott Spratt)
